Almost all of my temporary rewards have expired, and leveling up happens much slower past 11, so it looks like I'm going to be very bare-bones on equipment for a while.

Will it work with hardsuits in the future, though, is the question. Because people walking in circles right up in your personal (armored mechsuit's) space would be much easier to deal with if you can just flick them several meters away.

I think this is a good weakness for them to have, though.  They kill so effortlessly.  They should take a team effort to summon safely and then escorts to prevent being kited to oblivion.
Those anti-armor stringers HURT

Not as much as the hardsuit railguns.  I only use the machinegun on moving targets now.  If it's stationary for a second, at any distance, it's insta-dead.

So if someone sees someone sucking terribly on the EU servers, and that person goes under the name Ashana. That would be me.

EDIT: Had a nice session a while ago, lost every map but I must say, some of these maps are gorgeous. My problem is that I am conflicted, I got onto a map that was on top of a scyscraper, I got killed a few times because I was staring at the background. It turned out to be snipers paradise though and I didn't have a sniper :p

The cluster-rocket launcher is amazing for plastering hardsuits with HE.

I really wish that you could have individual armor/equipment sets for your different loadouts, though; what I want for sniping and what I want for run-&-gunning is completely different.

Yeah the dubstep... But the finger wagging that you can do during that screen is hilarious.  You can even do it in game! (By pressing T).  Also, that's alison sudol in your avatar right?

Can someone tell me how bandwith intensive this game is?

I'd love to try it out but with my current internet most stuff isn't possible, it'd be ideal if it was in the range of WoT (only thing that doesn't lag, at all XD )

Its an FPS game, with at most 16 people at once, or at least thats as high as I've seen any server. So things are moving all the time. Mostly indoorish maps, but theres either no ceiling at all in some places or just holes in the ceiling to facilite hardsuit drops. Beyond that, I don't really know how bandwidth intensive it is.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

hardsuit drops.

That is one of my big annoyances right now... where you can and where you can not drop a hardsuit seems completely arbitrary on some maps. Running around like a drunk gopher trying to find a place to actually drop your suit while the seconds tick away on the map time...

Its easier to just run around staring at the ceiling than just trying everywhere, yeah.

Forgot to mention, I go by MKSeventySeven in-game. I play on the USA server mostly. Seems like my difficulty connecting yesterday was a fluke, thankfully.

It's not that bandwidth intensive. I rarely get over 100ms of latency, and I'm running on a pretty weak connection.

Oh, and I also found a second continent, "The Released Syrup-Continents". It houses "The Finger of Silkness". I think I died a little inside.

You can even do it in game! (By pressing T).


Not only that, you even get points for it! Only 8 though, which isn't really worth exposing yourself. I don't know if the bonus goes up if you taunt after a kill.


P.S., I'm Virex in game, playing on EU servers.
